How Not To Be Destroyed By The Destroyer
Either You Are Giving Thanks Or You Are Murmering
I want to thank my friend Carol Saunds for reminding me. Not “reminding” me exactly but inspiring me. I had become a “murmerer.”
I love the way Derek Prince zooms in on words, teaches the Bible through this very exacting light cast on each word.
I was able to get my feet into the Atlantic Ocean today and I said “Thank you!” I even raised up my arms. I went through quite a lot to get there. It’s staggering how little I have made of my access to the Atlantic Ocean, all these years.
We are the receipt and extension of the gift of life.
What we make of it is not what it Is.
Everything temporal is a take from timelessness.
Running off with a mis-taken inheritance (by focusing in self-imaged modelling of reality exclusive of Source) unfolds themes of 'Separation and Fall' from a self boosting inflation set in hollowing invested defences in the mask of truth that sets the Messengers of truth behind the veil of threat and fear of pain of loss.
'Bottoming out' is a grace of noticing from truth we do NOT manufacture or post-process. That which rises from the 'uncarved block' is not victorious over the 'destroyer' so much as the nature of an awareness of being in which such conflict is meaningless and yet holds recognition and compassion for love lost from its Self.
A nurture and love of grievance is built into our strategies of defences against inner conflicts that a heart in confusion of forgetting, set the mind to keep it safe from reliving.
And so a 'special' love is made to mask over deeper hates as a realm of social contracts - because the setting of conditions to be met is not God's love, but the demand "I Want It Thus!' - which reveals itself when our 'world' breaks.
Unless we recognise what runs beneath in willingness to release it - by the grace of noticing, we 'see' only that which we use to bolster and boost the insanity of immunity against natural law.of sowing and reaping in the measure of our giving - if not in the same form.
So look at the thought and word that runs beneath what on surface seems to hold meaning.
"How not to be destroyed by the destroyer"?
What does this say about you?
What is its implicit implication?
or as the Lords says in the Bible and still says as Our Holy Spirit:
"but WHO told you you were naked?"
The Messengers for truth that heals and undoes invested identity in self illusion (and its lens of rules and filters we call the world), can only stand at the door and knock while a self-conviction in grievance and guilt sets love lost and thus Out There. But when we receive the Guest, we recognise a quality of love and life that has never been absent, but that we could not see.
An addiction to our enemy image is the set in separation as salvation. We cast out our conflicts and denials to our world and to each other as if to get rid of. But giving is the law of receipt and return.
There is no 'how' to being what God created you, but there is the learning of how we mask over and cover Soul awareness for the seeming gain in a world of forgetting, as preparing the way for what is Always to register now - in whatever moment, situation or circumstance we otherwise judge as if we know.
Judging ourselves as if to 'should' or guilt ourself into correctness can usurp the grace of noticing. If you persist a habit that you say you don't want it is because you do want it, but have hidden this from yourself. Expressing frustrations harmlessly is not to let then direct and shape your word. Sometimes the inability to move emotion as a result of 'should' and 'Or else' can so paralyse that we need to steer into the skid, so as to regain traction.
Ironically just when someone leaks and finds some sense of 'self acceptance' is where un compassionate and blind reaction sees only attack or threat to order and is meted attack and rejection.
How not to think of an elephant.
or...
Let our willingness alight and align in simple joys for which gratitude rises of itself.
True gratitude is never alone and isolate.
This is what we have forgotten, and now have a world repurposed to remembering for each other and therefore for our self.
